eh, he is just jealous because he can't think of anything good like Harry potter.


why is he doing a literary criticism of a fantasy novel meant for children and young adults?

Think of all the mature issues jo does address in those books and she does it inb a way that is not disturbing for children. She preserves their innocence while exposing them to very mature attitudes towards love, death, morality, racism, class divisions, etc.

He needs to stop looking at minute details and flaws and focus and jo's ability to create a magically wonderful word and still acheive the ultimate goal of any author: to represent humanity both how it is and what is should strive to become.
